Here TV celebrates 10th anni with film showcase

New Frontiers program calls for submissions about LGBT experience

LGBT-themed cabler Here TV is celebrating a decade on the air with the launch of its New Frontiers Film Project.

Project calls for endeavors that carve out “new frontiers” around the LGBT experience. Here TV execs will review entries and selected works will air throughout the year on its cable and Web platforms.

“When we launched the network, a purely LGBT network was met with great skepticism and tremendous resistance,” said Josh Rosenzweig, Here TV’s senior veepee of original programming and development. “The television and film projects that have aired over the past decade have all been part and parcel in entertaining and inspiring our LGBT audiences and motivating our allies to help us change hearts and minds across the country.”
